I ra...Yvonne, Dan, Cheryl - thanks for swinging by. I rarely eat processed carbs of any kind. No bread, pasta, cakes or pie crusts. I do not eat any kind of flour or grains ... perhaps half a cup of rice a MONTH. One pear a month. It's the only fruit I eat. I get my vitamin C from raw vegetables which are rarely inflammatory if you do not eat processed wheat or sugar. I do not eat sugars of any kind (not even honey)or lactose because I put a dash of soy milk into my daily coffee. What DO I eat? Plenty (plenty) of fish and meats of all kinds, dozens of eggs, some hard cheese (it contains carbs and a bit of lactose)a tiny bit of Greek yogurt (about a cup a week) and a mountain of vegetables of all kinds, even frozen and canned (as long as their processing does not contain sugar). Yes, I read labels. That's about it. I like tuna, oil and all - I like all oils except corn oil and palm oil. I do not like trans fats so I eat lots of butter - I use slices of raw zucchini or grilled eggplant instead of bread. I'm rarely hungry. I've given up nuts because like milk, they are the only natural food that contains fat and carbs together. Nothing else does. Coleslaw is my great staple - I eat it with everything. Desserts? Hmmm - only if I have to, because of the sugar. I make a great lemon cheesecake sweetened artificially, with a thin ground almond and coconut base. And diet jellies (jello)every so often. The only thing I miss is plums - I do eat them when in season locally. One every second or third day or so.Rosanne Dinglihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297891545294681562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544416621891146956.post-62466189693901800582013-06-21T09:33:28.804+08:002013-06-21T09:33:28.804+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rosanne Dinglihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297891545294681562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544416621891146956.post-64299113038368659342013-06-21T02:23:02.340+08:002013-06-21T02:23:02.340+08:00Hey, where'd my earlier comment/question go???...Hey, where'd my earlier comment/question go??? OK, I'll go at it again. I love this idea but I cannot eat cabbage as it is inflammatory for me, according to my nutritionist. <br /><br />But my question is - is the prohibition against starches just because of food combining, meaning I can eat them later, or do you mean never, ever, at all? I know you avoid grains completely, but I only avoid certain ones.Yvonne Hertzbergerhttp://newfantasyauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544416621891146956.post-91562013236236471882013-06-21T02:17:24.805+08:002013-06-21T02:17:24.805+08:00Ha!

People eat so much wheat/maize/sugary stuff. I find my brain so much clearer without them and then I write better.<br /><br />And oh, yes, Rosanne, as a writer you do need to cherish your eyes. Unfortunately, as you get older, you can't absorb as much goodness from what you eat, however healthy it is. So as well as eating plenty of carrots,I take l-carnosine daily. It's brilliant, has slowed down the march of cataracts for me.<br /><br />Anna Jacobshttp://www.annajacobs.comnoreply@blogger.com
